Why not ? If they have the proper size, I would need some too! Though I'm not driving my bug in the snow because of the salt.

Good news Danny ... Michelin makes their X-Ice Xi2 in 175/65-15 for the fronts and 195/65-15 for the rear!

Had to chime in on this one! Had a girlfriend in high school (1979-so cal) whose brother built a very clean cal-look late model with mild 1835. In the "dare to be different" attitude, he chose to run correct sized snow tires with chromies. It actually filled the wheel openings very nicely!

Carry on...
